Core Tip

Core Tip: This study is the first bibliometric analysis of the literature pertaining to signal amplification in aptamer-based tumor detection. It unveils that China accounts for 85.47% of all publications, with Hasanzadeh M of Iran and the journal "Biosensors and Bioelectronics". Furthermore, it highlights exosomes and carcinoembryonic antigen as the most extensively studied tumor-related molecules.
